There are many inquisitive students making the jump from their native country to travel and study abroad; letting their curiosities run wild and discovering the globe. If their next stop is the UK to continue and excel in their studies, then they will find it useful in the long run to secure a part-time job to support their expenses in the UK.

International students have to apply for a Tier 4 visa and there are, sadly, some stringent regulations in order to operate in the UK. They are able to scan the visa sticker or the Biometric Residency Permit, which can be found in their passport, to find out whether a student can work or not. Jobs International students can do are 20 hours during term time and full-time study at degree level or higher and also Students are able to work full time over the holidays or after the programme ends.

The best jobs for international students:

STUDENT AMBASSADOR

This one is one of our favorites. Working with your university colleagues is not only a satisfying experience, but it looks amazing on a CV. Responsibilities include participating on open days and fresher activities, and it is also a fantastic way to make connections with new people, making the change even more comforting.

WAREHOUSE WORK

Amazon, Post Office and DHL are often readily available with many warehouses and factory positions to name a few, particularly during the holiday season, and are widely accessible to international students and can sustain their lifestyle of work/life balance healthily.

RETAIL WORK

If you don't pay enough to be a mystery shopper, or you need more hours, then retail work would be easier. There are several possibilities available and there is usually no need for experience as training is offered on the job.
